Osmosis is the process in which water molecules move from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower potential down a water potential gradient across a partially permeable membrane. It doen't requires any additional energy to do this work. 

So, Osmosis is a Passive.

Active and passive transport processes are two ways molecules and other materials move in and out of cells and cross intracellular membranes.

1. Active transport is the movement of molecules or ions against a concentration gradient (from an area of lower to higher concentration), which does not ordinarily occur, so enzymes and energy are required.

2. Passive transport is the movement of molecules or ions from an area of higher to lower concentration. Passive transport occurs because of the entropy of the system, so additional energy isn't required for it to occur.

3. Active transport requires energy to proceed, while passive transport does not require the input of extra energy to occur.

Given word is TRANSFORMER.

Associated Press (AP) is world's oldest news agency followed by Reuters and Agence France - Presse.

Business cycles are identified as having four distinct phases:

1. Expansion,

2. Peak,

3. Contraction, and

4. Trough.

Expansion is the phase of the business cycle when the economy moves from a trough to a peak. It is a period when the level of business activity surges and gross domestic product (GDP) expands until it reaches a peak. A period of expansion is also known as an economic recovery.

An expansion is characterized by increasing employment, economic growth, and upward pressure on prices.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced the launch of NBA Basketball School, a network of tuition-based basketball development programs around the world open to international male and female players ages 6-18 in Mumbai.

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent.

And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid

It means that wherever water goes, either through the ground or through our bodies, it takes along valuable chemicals, minerals, and nutrients

Eugenics is the study of altering human beings by changing their genetic components.

It is the study of the agencies under social control that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations either physically or mentally.

The computers microprocessor speed depends on all the factors like clock speed, bandwidth and the number of instructions it processes.
